Christian, Glad you like it. Good point about sales. I am really not worrying too much about that right now. I just want to make sure that people find it useful.
As for the different take: we are taking a reverse-engineering based approach as opposed to the more popular design based approaches. Are there other tools that do reverse-engineering: yes, but they are typically very limited in their capabilities - so much so that teams have a hard time using them when they try to follow an agile development approach.
